Pepper Rocks — Restaurant in Nottingham

Odder than odd! This little place could skip your notice unless someone told you about it. It nestles in a pretty uninteresting. cul-des-ac in Nottingham's Bridesmiths way. Next to a series of store loading bays. But don't be deceived it's very popular and does killer cocktails to just about every conceivable combination. A micro Coyote Ugly meets Steptoe and son's living room. The cast of Rocky Horror would feel every bit at home as the local young conservatives. A collision of just about every conceivable genre. The place is full of leather_ish settees that can no longer be contained and explode out onto the street garnished with dozens of round top stools making it a challenge going from the bar to your seat and one that would test the skills of any seasoned world class limbo dancer. Do I recommend a visit? Indeed I do! If you went only once you would be armed with enough after dinner anecdotes to silence the the most detirmined, overpowering bore imaginable. For me I can't wait to go back and tumble down the rabbit hole into this mad and...

Really nice bar, unique ambiance with all the vegetation decorations, feels like you're in a jungle or something.

It can get a bit cramped, there's lots of spaces, outdoor areas on the ground floor and first floor but it can feel like you're having to weave around a lot of tables and stools.

There's also a hotdog window available outside, although I'm usually a few cocktails deep by that point so I can't give a proper...

Hidden away in a side street off Market Square, you might not have heard of Pepper Rocks. Once you do find it, stepping in presents a wonderful cosy interior with leather sofas, and Motown classics playing in the background. It really has a very relaxing and chilled aura. Drinks-wise, they offer £4 selected cocktails everyday before 10pm which are expertly made by the bartender (they free pour so the cocktails are slightly stronger than normal - whether that is a good thing or not is down to you).

They also offer hot dogs for £2.50 but I have not tried them.

Upstairs houses more space which can be hired out, and a balcony - although the view isn't too much to write home about.

Pepper Rocks is a very cosy and relaxed bar that would be ideal to take a date, or just chill with friends. The staff are very friendly and drinks are...
